Lineover Wood, Protected woodland in Gloucestershire, England

Lineover Wood extends across 20.3 hectares of north-facing slopes in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, featuring limestone foundations and diverse tree species.

The woodland, first recorded in 800 AD as part of the Dowdeswell Estate, derives its name from Anglo-Saxon words meaning lime bank.

The Woodland Trust manages this Site of Special Scientific Interest to preserve ancient coppicing practices and maintain traditional British forestry methods.

Visitors can explore the woodland through multiple permissive paths and two marked trails, with information boards providing details about local flora and fauna.

The site contains a veteran beech tree with a seven-meter circumference, recognized as the third oldest beech specimen in England.
